The FC Barcelona plays next Saturday against the Getafe and Ronald Koeman will not be able to have until the Thursday of eight international players

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The past week, the FC Barcelona remained in picture due to the fact that the majority of his players left summoned with his selections and the big problem for Ronald Koeman will be that, once have recovered them to all, hardly will have time to prepare the next party of LaLiga Santander, that will play next Saturday to the 21:00 hours (peninsular schedule Spanish) in the stadium Alfonso Pérez.

The Dutch trainer has an important reason of despair in this appearance and is that it will not be able to recover to all his international until the Thursday in the afternoon, by what only will have two sessions of training -the one of the Thursday and the one of the Friday- to prepare the party against the azulones, that foresees especially last in front of a rival that adds two victories, a tie and a defeat.

But, without place to doubts, the problem resides in that until eight players will be absent until the session of the Thursday, included Leo Messi. In addition to the Barcelona captain, the seven players that only will have two sessions to tune of face to the duel against the Getafe will be Clement Lenglet, Antoine Griezmann, Martin Braithwaite, Francisco Trincao, Miralem Pjanic, Philippe Coutinho and Ronald Araujo.

To all this it is necessary to add that players like Philippe Coutinho, Ronald Araújo or Leo Messi will have to bear even more hours of flight that the rest, by what could be a firm possibility that had rest the Thursday to make an alone previous session to the meeting against the Getafe. In these circumstances, the normal is that for the first time there are rotations in the team of Ronald Koeman.

More than at all because the calendar of the FC Barcelona will be very tightened in the next days. Four days after the party against the Getafe, the team debuts in the Champions League in front of the Ferencvaros Hungarian in the Camp Nou and, this same weekend, will touch to confront to the Real Madrid in the Classical also home. It is thus that Ronald Koeman will have to apply changes so that the team arrive fresco to this last appointment.

Those that arrive before

Ronald Koeman will recover some international before the Thursday. Sergio Busquets, Ansu Fati, Sergi Roberto, Pedri, Iñaki Crag and Riqui Puig reincorporarán to the session matinal of the Wednesday. On the other hand, Net, Sergiño Dest, Gerard Hammered, Ousmane Dembélé and Carles Aleñá are the players with which Ronald Koeman explains to dia of today and probably, to exception of this last, all aim to headlines.
